i dont tink gear cost most for us u have 2 do daily and den u got money 4 it
edit: do daily @ icecrown many 4 u ther so can make ca$h
Press "edit" to edit the real way.
And yeah even thought your post was kinda hard to read, I agree. It's not that expensive, and just do your daily quests (in icecrown as well as other places) and it should be no problem.
Edit - nvm

well, i try to balance gear and weapons, but when the only thing that works for your class is worth like 10g and is being sold for 60g, it really slows you down.
true, though i have to admit i gotta spend my gold carefull now, since ive transfered my 80DK to another server.. O.o

Well, for my rotation:
1: Stealth up (if possible)
2: Cheap shot enemy
3: Slice and Dice
4: Sinister Strike them to 5 combo points
5: Eviserate or Kidney Strike
Thats pretty much a 1 mob attack rotation.
Also, the leather gear i am talking about is not twink gear, it could be level 61 gear and i have seen twink gear, that gives a high figure of stamina or something at lower levels, this is a twink item for obvious reasons:

But the leather gear i am talking about is no where near worth the high prices i have seen, it doesn't give you enough of a good stat to be worth the over the top price tag.
Something like this:
19 agility
25 stamina
30 attack power
That is a 'of the bandit' item, which is ideal for rogues and feral kittys and that items was for a level 58-61, i was able to loot several from sheer luck after selling each one for a realistic price and they were all roughly the same stats, perhaps 1 more agility or 1 more stamina, but the levels were different, level 59, 60 and level 61.
So, it has nothing to do with twinks, its just greedy players that don't care how they make money, even if its over pricing vital items needed for rogues and feral druids entering outland.
Pretty pathetic really.
Have you ever heard of a level 59 WSG and AB twink? Or a level 60 AV twink? You seem to get the impression that all twinks are either level 19 or 29. I believe some of the "of the bandit" items you've run into are valuable twink pieces, which is why there is higher demand, which equals higher prices on the AH. I don't believe people are just being greedy.
Besides, even if you disagree with me. You can't change what price other players put items for on the AH, right? So if you truly think the real value is lower than what people are charging, the best thing you can do is not buy it.

I love some of the these posts I have read. I have a question regarding people complaining about the cost of low level items. Have you ever heard of stricking using gathering professions while leveling? I doubled up on them and was able to buy some decent gear and enchants while leveling. Not to mention when I hit 70 I had enough gold to buy my epic flying. Think about it. WoW has been around for a while. Not nearly as many people are leveling lowbies as much as they use to. If you have WotLK not many people are willing to start a level 1 when they can have a 55 (not to mention the free mount). So there is a reason why some of the low level gear is semi expensive.

OK First off on a 1 mob fight you shouldn't be using S&D. When i leveled the mob was dead before I could have it tic for a few seconds. You should be killing mobs that are a few lvl's above you to get more experience and lvl faster so if you are not able to kill mobs your lvl there is something wrong with what you are doing. Unless for some reason you decided to go try and kill some leet mobs. Just stick with it you should have no problem killing mobs a few lvl's higher than you in in low numbers.
WhenI leveled my rogue I never bought one piece of gear. I always sold mine for a huge mark up because people buy it. As a rogue your dps is better than most classes. Your gear doesn't have to even be the best to be able to lvl efficiently and effectively. If your having trouble still choose a different class because obviously rogue is not for you.
